getfield - list field extraction

### Calling Sequence

  `[x,...]=getfield(i,l)`

### Parameters

- `x`: matrix of any possible types
- `l`: list, tlist or mlist variable
- `i`: field index, see extraction for more details.

### Description

This function is an equivalent of `[x,...]=l(i)` syntax for field extraction with the only difference that it also applies to `mlist` objects.

### Examples

    l=list(1,'qwerw',%s)
    [a,b]=getfield([3 2],l)

    a=hypermat([2,2,2],rand(1:2^3));// hypermatrices are coded using mlists
    a(1) // the a(1,1,1) entry
    getfield(1,a) // the mlist first field
